Karen Klein a bus monitored bullied by students on the bus
Did you know that bullying doesn't just happen to children it can occur at various stages in ones life. Here is just one example of such. Below is a video of a 68-year-old bus monitor named Karen Klein being verbally harassed by a group of middle schoolers on their way home from Athena Middle School in Greece, New York. We must remember that we are all part of the great fabric of society and that we must treat everyone the way in which we would want to be treated ourselves.

Fans say goodbye to Snow White’s Scary Adventures – Ride’s biggest fan, an autistic teen, given the honor of last ride
Snow White’s Scary Adventures, which has been running at the park since it opened in 1971, closed for the final time on May 31, 2012 to make way for Princess Fairytale Hall, a meet and greet area for the Disney princesses which will be part of the New Fantasyland.
The line was long for the final night of the Snow White’s Scary Adventures attraction at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. As the park’s closing neared, fans hurried to get in line for a final scary journey as the fireworks from Wishes began exploding all around the building. But after the last guest in line made it through, a teen named Ben with autism, who has ridden more than 3,450 times, was given the honor of being the very last to ever ride.
The ride’s biggest fan has to be Ben, a teen with autism who first started riding when he was 9. Ben has always loved watching Disney videos, so his parents decided to bring him to Disney World. When Ben entered the park, his parents noticed a great change for the better. Ben was happy and smiling more than ever before. His first ride at the park was Snow White’s Scary Adventures. When his parents noticed the change the Magic Kingdom brought to their son, they moved to Orlando and began visiting the park often. All the cast members working the attraction know Ben and his family from their frequent visits. As his favorite attraction, Ben has ridden Snow White’s Scary Adventures more than 3,451 times. Who could be more deserving of the last ride? For more about Ben, visit his father’s blog at shmoolok.com
(UPDATE: After the park closed and all the guests had left the area, Ben and his family were allowed to ride a few more times so Ben’s total number of rides would be 3,500. - Matt Roseboom
